Remarkables alpine routes.

Situated above Lake Wakatipu and Queenstown the Remarkables are impressive and dominate the skyline.

The climbing routes in the Remarkables range offer world class alpine rock climbing in a stunning location. Climbers come from all over the world to scramble on the ridges and test their mettle on the faces of single cone.

Access is easy as we can use drive up the ski field road in summer, this means approaches are short and only take one or two hours.

Single cone NE ridge.

This is the easiest and shortest alpine route that Wanaka Rock Climbing Guides. The NE ridge of single cone rises strikingly above Lake Alta. The climbing is easy but very enjoyable. easy scrambling will lead to some fun pitched climbing, this leads to the slender and impressive summit block.

An easy descent down the southern gullies leads back to the approach trail.

Double Cone Single Cone Traverse

The Big classic of the Southern Lakes district, this striking ridge is on every climbers tick list. Approached by the "shadow basin" and under the telecom tower. After this long walk the climb starts of with a long ledge systems that brings you to a ridge crest and a gut renching view down the west face.

From here its all on to the summit, long sections of pitched climbing on a knife edge ridge and some very exciting "au cheval" moves make this climb not for the faint of heart.

The route traverses all the way over both summits of double cone and to the top of single cone before descending the southern gullies.

A route for the connoisseur.

Lake Alta Slabs

The lake Alta slabs are home to many routes in the 3-4 pitch grade 13-16 range. Great for climbers who want to spend some quite time on the rock enjoying a quality route but don't want to be up early and be out all day!
